Debian's approach is much less evasive than the Ubuntu and is more ideal. Why
does it need to be installed by default for desktop users? It is more of a
server technology and if you are tech savvy enough to know how to use and
administer ZFS, you are more than willing to manually install a package or
compile from source manually for your specific setup.
It shows that Canonical is more interested in phones and servers than
desktops since that is where they can lock in service contracts and trademark
licensing. It's a shame that Unity 8 is STILL not in a usable state on the
desktop after many promises and Ubuntu 16.10 will not have it by default when
it is released in October.
We will see if Snap packages are adopted at all or remain in the Ubuntu
ecosystem along with Unity and Mir.
